Avatar m tn Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. The mainstay of treatment of hives is antihistamine which may be necessary for prolonged periods (in excess of 6 weeks). Double conventional doses of these non-sedating antihistamines such as Cetirizine, Loratadine, Acrivastine and Fexofenadine may be needed to get symptom relief.
Avatar f tn It may cause some sedation.External application of calamine is fine.
Avatar f tn Hello, Another possibility is hives. Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours. Many cases of hives are "idiopathic," meaning no cause is known. Others may be triggered by viral infections or medications.

Avatar n tn Double conventional doses of these non-sedating antihistamines such as Cetirizine, Loratadine, Acrivastine and Fexofenadine may be needed to get symptom relief. Sedating antihistamines such as Chlorphenamine or Hydroxyzine are used at night to get urticaria control. Short courses of oral cortisone or steroids are taken for short periods (one to three days) to settle more severe symptoms. You may take Vitamin C along with the prescribed treatment. Vitamin C is a general anti-allergy supplement.

Avatar m tn I am a 26 years old male and I have recently been diagnosed with chronic urticaria. My symptoms started 3 months ago when my skin started itching and I developed some dyshidrosis in my hands. I consulted my GP and he suggested it could be some allergy due to spring (south hemisphere) that we should wait maybe it would go on its own. It didn't. So I made a consult with a dermatologist. I had lots of tests done (blood, liver, kidneys, IgE, cholesterol) everything was good.

Avatar m tn She diagnosed me with seborrheic dermatitis on my face and scalp with chronic urticaria on my arms. I have been taking Fexofenadine for the chronic urticaria which is meant to burn itself out after 12 to 18 months. In March of last year I had my appendix removed after which the doctor described it as a nasty case of appendicitis with the appendix having a sloughy surface.
2127744 tn?1335367748 how you were diagnosed, your symptoms, and how you felt after receiving the diagnosis. I recently gave a presentation on this disease, but I was curious to hear from those who have it since I know AU can vary from person to person. Thanks ahead of time and have a great day.

Avatar m tn I am a 19yr old male and i am suffering from chronic urticaria since almost childhood or may be since birth. My dad says it might be genetic as he is also suffering the same problem but at a very lesser level. The urticaria is accompanied by flowing nose, blocked nose, wheezing and stress. Almost all of my family members are diseased.
Avatar m tn Would anyone know the difference between Piriton and Fexofenadine? Which is stronger?
Avatar m tn I have been taking Fexofenadine for the chronic urticaria which is meant to burn itself out after 12 to 18 months. In March 2010 I had my appendix removed after which the doctor described it as a nasty case of appendicitis with the appendix having a sloughy surface. Since then I have had numerous blood tests to work out the cause of the elevated liver enzymes and all of which have come back negative.
Avatar n tn Check with an optometrist. Sometimes they can help with eye problems better than a doctor. I can't even get water in my eyes without going insane from pain etc. Turns out I have a "mild" case of aquagenic urticaria. Mild compared to those that develop nasty blisters and hives anyway. My optometrist was the one who actually got me on the train to finding out what I was allergic to. I've tried many eye drops in the past, but none seemed to help...they just made it worse.
